SEPTEMBER 8--The Florida pastor who is planning to burn a pile of Korans this weekend runs a church that has established a variety of cult-like rules for individuals studying to become ministers, according to the group’s “rulebook.”
The Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC), headed by Islam-hating Rev. Terry Jones, has been widely denounced for its September 11 bonfire plans. The tiny Gainesville church is headed by Jones and his wife Sylvia, a co-pastor.
The DWOC’s “Academy Rulebook,” a copy of which you’ll find here, was created in November 2007 by Sylvia Jones. The document, which details the standards to which a prospective DWOC minister must adhere, addresses topics such as behavior, study, and communication. It is also filled with the kind of creepy directions that are often associated with cults.
For instance, students are directed to cut off most contact with family members. “Family occasions like wedding, funerals or Birthdays are no exception to this rule,” the rulebook notes. “No phone calls. Exceptions can be made under certain circumstances but only after receiving permission.”
The Joneses also barred “Singles” from having “romantic relationships to the opposite sex…

You are really free with the lives of innocent people.
Do you think that I don’t understand the danger that Islam brings? Hell, if it was up to me, I would drop cluster bombs on all the places where they gather to celebrate the murder of Americans.
But this f$cking president thinks of Muslims as allies in his quest to destroy America and no matter how many Christians are murdered, he isn’t going to do a damned thing.
Because our government has ignored common sense and has allowed terrorist to infiltrate our country by ignoring immigration laws, you would be a fool to NOT fear for your life for burning a Koran even in the United States.
Sad, but true.
You are wrong to say this man is responsible for someone “else” who takes a life...Whoever takes life is to blame for their decision..no matter who they are....be it Muslims...who have all the reasons they need to take life written out for them in their Koran as a command....they don’t need some wacked out pastor to incite them...incitement is their nature...they will do as they please without fear of retaliation...they are wired for that.
Muslims are killing people every day around the world...and this without provocation...Islam is exactly what has been said and which they themselves attest to...a death cult.
This Pastor would not be getting the attention if Muslims weren’t making such an issue and our Gov and others weren’t weighing in... it is all just one more issue for Muslims to get their pants in a knot...
P.S. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country.
Well, you’re more than welcome. It struck a chord with me.
I LOVE Free Republic.....because we always hash out topics and express our concerns in a pretty civil manner. I love reading all view points......and no matter how much we may disagree....we have a common purpose. That’s what makes us unique on the web. I come from a more ‘fact finding’ approach of who this ‘pastor is’, etc. But your post certainly puts things in a larger perspective. ‘Forest and trees’, ya’ know. ;-)
No, I am not free. But if one stupid nonviolent act causes a slough of violence and murder, then that is really where the problem lies.
The point, IMO, is that it doesn’t matter what other people do, the islamites are hellbent on taking over the world. They don’t need any excuses. This is just another point on the road to Armageddon. Nothing will stop that.
If it was up to me, this koran burning wouldn’t make any difference. There wouldn’t be any islamites to protest.
I do indeed. Thanks!
you think i can get next day shipping ifn i order in the AM ??? BBWWWAHAHAHA...
Yes, that IS where the problem lies. But until the radical portion of Islam is excised by killing them all, it isn’t going to change.
no we’re not that is the hypocrisy of them saying we are.
you know what we care about when rounds are flying,
US and our pals
No I am not going to do it but if you think I will stop doing something so I will not piss of muslims then you have no idea as to who I am.
If we had the likes of Washington thinking like that then this country would not be where we are today.
It is time to stand up to tyranny and bullying.
Fine some muslims will get totally pissed off but what we need to is let them know we have a right to draw a cartoon or do this.
islam only knows and sees weakness and that is from many muslims I got to know,
Right now they see weakness.
personally I wish and hope that an American Govt would understand that islam is not a religion.
I’ve seen first hand how islam takes over and destroys a country with their backward thinking and it is by saying we’re peaceful, we’re victims etc.
But, IMO, all of islam is the problem. I haven’t fought them on the field of battle, but I spent some time in Egypt and got a good look. IMO, islam is a huge millstone around the necks of those people. They would be so much better with it off. The only thing that will bring about change is change. The islamites don’t allow for change. To them, it is “my way, or the die way”.

So we should make their lives even harder than they already are? This is juvenile and anti-Christian to its core. Western civilization will destroy itself fighting the very beasts meant to destroy it. But it shouldn’t be that way, and the only way to prevent it from happening is reaching out to Muslims and trying to spread the word of God and Christ’s salvation.
Not by provoking them further. We had quite a few major bloody wars because of this.
That is a pie in the sky dream.
Light ‘em if you got ‘em.
“Lou, Mary..And now the news” to you Ted Grant. Oh, that’s Ted Baxter! Whoops! Just thought a little laugh would be nice here.
It sounds like these Christians are similar to Ultra-Orthodox Jews.
BTTT.
